Sinossi

'Very well-informed, splendidly provocative – a must-read for the rich debates to come' JONATHON PORRITT

Glaciers are melting, sea levels are rising and weather is becoming more extreme. Most of us know the solution: cut our carbon emissions. There's only one problem – we aren't doing it.

So what else can we do?

Over the past four years, Gwynne Dyer has spoken to dozens of the world's leading climate scientists, asking them this question and listening to what they have to say.

Should we copy volcanoes and squirt sulphates into the stratosphere to reflect the sun's rays? Can we suck CO2 out of the air and bury it? Invent a clever way to prop up the 'Doomsday' glacier? Or dam the North Sea? The ideas might seem outlandish, but these are desperate times.

From fission power to fake meat, from the deep seas to the jet stream, Intervention Earth is a magisterial survey of the most creative scientific thinking on how we might still solve
the most frightening problem of our age.

    The journey to motherhood is one of the most transformative experiences a woman can undergo. It is a time of immense change—physically, emotionally, and mentally. Whether it’s your first pregnancy or a subsequent one, the process of carrying and preparing to welcome a new life into the world is unique. It can be both thrilling and overwhelming, filled with moments of joy, anticipation, and even uncertainty. This book aims to be your guide through the various stages of pregnancy and the preparations for motherhood, helping you navigate the challenges and embrace the beauty of this life-changing experience. 
      
    In the chapters ahead, we’ll explore everything from the earliest signs of pregnancy to what you can expect after your baby is born. Pregnancy is often depicted as a time of blissful glow, but in reality, it’s a mixture of highs and lows. While the excitement of impending parenthood is palpable, many women experience symptoms like fatigue, morning sickness, and emotional changes, which can sometimes overshadow the joy. This book provides practical advice on how to manage these symptoms and find balance in a time of physical and emotional fluctuation. 
      
    The first step in preparing for pregnancy is understanding what’s happening within your body. From conception to the final trimester, your body will go through dramatic changes. Knowing what to expect at each stage of pregnancy helps you prepare mentally and physically, reducing anxiety and allowing you to be more present throughout the experience. Understanding prenatal health, what nutrients your body needs, and how exercise can play a vital role will set the foundation for a healthy pregnancy.
